Charging battery
Note:
The device is equipped with a safety mech-
anism to prevent total discharge, i.e. when
the permissible minimum capacity is
reached, the brush motor and the turbine
are switched off.
 Drive the machine directly to the charg-
ing station; avoid any steep gradients in
the process.
DANGER
Danger of injury due to electric shock. Ob-
serve the mains voltage and fuse protec-
tion on the type plate of the device.
Charging process
Average charging time is approx. 10 -15
hours.
The appliance must not be used during the
charging process.
DANGER
Danger of explosion
Prior to charging low-maintenance bat-
teries
Remove waste water tank (see Chapter
"Maintenance and care/Maintenance
